Finals haven't even started for me yet. Our reading days are Monday and Tuesday.....hardcore stressin' right here trying to handle two jobs, being broke and findin' money for the bills, school events, and studying for finals to keep the 3.8! Who came up with this finals bullsh@$ anyways, aren't the normal tests enough for these professors!?!?!?!:mad:

I just want to take the only final I have tomorrow. The rest can stay as is.

I write 6 finals in 5 days :eek: , starting tomorrow - but this time next week I will be enjoying my 24 day christmas vacation.

Hehe...we spent the ENTIRE SEMESTER on In personam jurisdiction. We spent maybe 3 classes on venue.

My CivPro teacher is notorious for giving you facts that fall in between all of the cases we've read, and we have to argue it every way imaginible. The tests take the entire 3.5 hours.

I've got that one Wednesday. I'm not *too* concerned, because its a 2 hour class. If I can get an A in legal writing (and I hope I did, I thought my memo rocked) that will balance out a possible C (OMG, if I get a C, it will be my first C ever) in CivPro
:eek: :D

Ooh, sorry. I had the only Civ Pro professor in the USA who spent a ton of time on Due Process (hello, so we could review it in Con Law) and only about 5 minutes on Erie. Her favorite testing subjects were DP, Jursidiction, Venue, Standing, & lots of general questions about rules (esp. FRCP 12). Issue spotting was her thing.

I'm sure someone on here will have some advice for you though. Take comfort in the curve (at least until you get into upper level classes, then the curve sucks).

You're right. I'll eventually get it up back to 3.7 or so...I'm just slacking cuz alot of drama IRL :(

A 3.7 isn't that great either. Oopsy, did that sound mean?

Anyway, my first college finals, what a landmark! I came in with alot of AP units so my classes aren't generally ones that freshmen take their first year... but I think I'll be okay due to the fact that (a) I've been studying for like three weeks straight and (b) I'm a big nerd anyway. ;)

XOXO,
Annie.

Nah. Making fun of the ones with a 3.9999999 would be mean. :cool:

Mine wasn't finals as much as it was projects.

In the span of three days i had to do a brochure of the statues and monuments on campus, give a thematic talk about Student Rules regarding alcohol and parties, construct a site plan for a new park in College Station, put together a project highlighting the sense of place at our fraternity house, come up with a proposed tourism development plan for the King Ranch, and develop a golf resort in Coastal Turkey.

I relocated to the computer lab on campus last week, thank god it's open 24 hours a day :-D

I only have two finals, and they're both this friday, so afterwards i'm parking myself at Northgate to celebrate being one semester closer to graduating!

Kitso
KS 361 hours i spent in the SCC last week, cuz the SCC won't let me be...

I don't get it :confused:

My contracts final was not all that bad. It was kinda easy actually. I know this sounds nuts, but the finals weeks have been the easiest parts of law school so far. Its not like I haven't been dealing with the stuff for the last 4 months, now I get to show off that I know it.

I just hope my grades are as good as I feel like they should be based on how I think I did on the tests. We don't get them until January :eek:

My advertising media final sucks. It is a take home and I have been working on it for days. Half the stuff ineed to do requires a mac computer. I have to do flowcharts etc, but the Media Flight Plan only works on macs. I have no idea what I am doing as it is. I am trying to create a media plan and I don't know how to figure out spot markets etc. I hate this final.

Ugh. Evidence & Income Taxation...both finals on 2 days consecutively. What a whip. But, I didn't implode. I just hope I passed (as a 3L who has had great grades up until now, I have stopped caring & just want to pass & get it over with!). Insurance law is Thursday, then I am DONE! Looking forward to a week of nothing, then heading to Dallas for the holidays.

Now...a little sleep would be good.

Junior-glad contracts went well for you. I came out of my contracts final feeling like I had been assaulted (and I used to actually work in an area related to contract law b/f law school).

Hope everyone else is hanging in there. It's almost over.
